Are there really so few people with problems after installing the new firmware? My MBP is completely unusable now. I get a beach ball every 10 seconds that lasts 20-30 seconds. I get it opening web pages, opening applications, opening finder, opening system preferences, etc. etc. Even if I don't open anything and just try to type, the beach ball keeps coming up. I tried to post this using the MBP but just gave up.
I've tried formatting and reinstalling OSX from scratch, I've tried doing all the Onyx repairing/cleaning suggested in this thread, but it doesn't help. I've got the WD Scorpio Blue in there now, but I've tried putting back the original drive that came with the computer but it's still the same.
This is my first Mac that I got less than a week ago. It was absolutely perfect and super fast when I first got it, then the firmware patch came and it's like a heavy paperweight now I was really falling in love with this machine but this experience has really added a sour taste to my experience... hope they fix this issue soon.
